Do you wanna build a snowman?

Brrrrrrr! Although we live so close to the equator line, it was a very cold week in Pre-K 3 class. The kids were busy doing so many activities related to our season: winter unit. They built snowman using play dough, upcycled socks into Olaf the snowman in Frozen, drew body parts of the snowman, put on hat and counted correct numbers of buttons for the snowman, sewed and hung the mittens, made some paper and popsicle sticks snowflakes and many more.

For our science activity this week, the kids worked together on a special mission to save the Penguins of Madagascar who trapped in the icebergs. Before saving the penguins, they had to make some hypothesis whether the warm water or the cold water which can save the penguins faster.

Run, run as fast as you can! You can't catch me. I'm the Gingerbread Man! Yup! We made some gingerbread man cookies this week. The kids, as usual, enjoyed every single step taken in making the cookies. Their most favorite step of course, tasting their delicious gingerbread cookies.
